As usual, the best advice is from Pat. Yes, a whelping female needs a portion of the palcenta because of the hormones that cause a number of normal changes in the mother's body..just like hooman moms. Think about this--if a mom has that placenta inside her uterus for 9 weeks, how in the Sam Hill can eating it cause an infection? Now, that one blows my mind.. Sorry, but sometimes I lose patience with these types of statements. I apologize if I hurt your vet's feelings but that does not make sense to me..
Anyhow, I have no helpful ideas about the pics-Villette posts mine. But as for the doggie part, sounds like you are on the right track. Some things we can prevent and some things we have to treat. The trick is knowing which is which.. |
No, it wasn't my vet. It was ceeby's breeders mothers vet in Ohio.
